It’s been somewhat over a 12 months now since Porter Robinson launched his second album, Nurture. He’s had the chance to tour the album and carry out internationally doing what he does greatest. Based mostly on earlier patterns of launch from Porter, we weren’t actually anticipating any new music for one more 12 months or two at the very least, however when Riot approached him to create music for Star Guardian, one thing should have clicked.
Verge wrote of their interview with Porter for the brand new launch:
Like many people, Porter Robinson turned to video video games through the pandemic. Particularly, the musician obtained actually into League of Legends. He remembers getting his first kill and pondering, “Oh, I get it. I get why folks play this. I get why folks like it.” It grew to become a hangout for his group of associates throughout a very difficult interval, an area the place everybody would get collectively within the evenings to play. Nevertheless it wasn’t till League developer Riot launched the animated collection Arcane on Netflix that Robinson really obtained sucked into the fantasy universe. “I used to be like, ‘I wish to be concerned of their world,’” he tells The Verge.
